EasyJet explained: “At present there are no changes to easyJet’s mask policy, however we continue to keep this under regular review in conjunction with our in-house medical adviser and key industry bodies.”
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said: “The health and safety of our customers and crew remains Virgin Atlantic’s number one priority and we continuously review all our Covid health measures, while we adhere to guidance and requirements of international and local aviation regulators and governments.
“It continues to be CDC & FAA guidance to wear face masks on flights operating to and from the USA.
“Whilst we continue to work together across industry to see when changes can be made, we will require all customers and crew to continue to wear face masks for the duration of their flights, as well as at the airport, until further notice.”
